Handball from them in the box. Ffs, robbed by the ref again.

Remy doesn't like to leave his seat does he.

He was standing right there too. Shocking decision.

Can't be handball if you're supporting yourself on the ground

[AllRoverAsia]

Yet another corrupt bent shitbag poser as a referee. Is there no end to these garbage pieces of excretement.

[WacoRover]

Last time we scored from a corner?

it may be recent, I honestly don’t remember

Yep, I think they've written it into the laws specifically. 

If the hand is where it would be naturally to support body, no foul.

Thought these commentators would know that.

Is this a written law? Sort of makes sense, but not heard it before.

A few matches ago against Stoke? Wharton senior. Very rare that we do though.

You’re telling me that I you do a handstand on the goal line and the ball strikes your arm to stay out, it’s not handball?

He clearly put his arm out to stop it.

Wasn't he pitched as a fitness expert too when he joined 

[DackDackGoose]

The irony of JDT being in the stands to see that.. stonewall pen

Siggy looks like he's actually warming up, so I may get my wish.

It seems to be Leonard wearing a Siggy suit.

Same sloppy play.

It is in the Premier League at least

It is, however, considered natural for a player to put their arm between their body and the ground for support when falling, so long as the arm is not extended to make the body bigger.

Is a handstand a natural position to be in during a football match? 

[joey_big_nose]

Weve played quite well, some beautiful football. But another one where not having a centre forward who worries a centre back means we have to work so hard to create a chance.

Yes but that's not what he did, watch the movement of his arm. It's not a natural way to support yourself to direct the ball with it.

I disagree, he was making a sliding tackle and the ball hit his supporting arm

I see the point there, but I’m confident it’s a poor ruling, as a result of that argument. Sliding on the ground is dynamic and shouldn’t need support, making your body a bigger obstacle with the use of your arm - natural or otherwise - is gaining an unfair advantage, as far as I can tell.

Watch the replay later. It doesn't just bounce off him.

Not a day for dressers today lads.Just a navy berghaus, CP woolly hat and dark blue Adidas Munchen with M&S dark blue blue harbour jeans today. I still look very impressive and much better than the local riff raff.

I prefer Hill at CB. We're weakened when he's not there and he doesn't look comfortable.

And Brittain is bloody awful further forward.
